I've had the Outshine raspberry bars now and I have to say I'm disappointed. The flavor is top notch but the texture is much more akin to a normal popsicle, with very little in the way of fruit bits at all. The Great Value fruit bars are creamier and softer. If Great Value picked up a raspberry...

I'm already not a fan of every storefront needing a system service and Chrome container "app" as it is, I don't want yet another launcher robbing performance. I have a perfectly serviceable launcher and it's called the start menu. :p On my Retroid I use a combination of RetroArch and...

Better off looking at Myrient these days. Vimm bent the knee to DMCA. Most Nintendo titles aren't downloadable there anymore, and a fair few PSP/PS2 games were unobtainium there as well last I tried. Gamecube, PS2 and Wii are well within the reach of most iGPs 11th gen and up, but PS3/360 are...

UPS just found another package I'd considered permanently lost after it went radio silent for almost two weeks. If the tracking is right now, I should get it today.

Perhaps that's the case, but we're a 365/Azure shop first and foremost and are a bit out of our element when we have to support someone who's in Google Workspace. I can and have gotten the job done, but even I'm personally not fond of the way Google tends to do things. At least I can kind-of...

Yeah, throw a copy of Outlook with a giant, uncleaned-for-years mailbox and a few instances of gen-u-ine Adobe-brand Acrobat and maybe a few spreadsheets in Real™ Micro-Soft® Excel©©®©™ and those figures can get pretty nuts, especially if literally anything is running in the background based on...

Walmart's house-brand makes generics of the Outshine bars for a couple bucks cheaper per box, and you get a couple more bars in each box -- I bought the coconut ones to directly compare against the Outshines, and while I could nitpick and say the Outshines have a bit more coconut shavings, they...

Thanks for the insight into the era, Merc. You'd be surprised to hear it but it's not an era a lot of people talk about -- the late 90s, sure, maybe the run up to 2000 in the non-Windows NT world as the various UNIX platforms are apparently more interesting than the one that'd come to dominate...

My headset jack still doesn't work right -- it registers something plugging in but never puts sound out to it. But that's relatively minor. My built-in mic is picked up on now in applications. I've acquired another PIII era laptop, this one is another nice little subnotebook -- a Compaq Evo...

It's definitely an interesting proposition for my desk for my next major upgrade in a few years. Do you know what kind of power it's drawing from the wall? It'd be interesting to see if it can outgun my desktop and Precision in even less power than the Precision takes, which is around 175-200W...

I'm a moron. I didn't give my user membership of the audio group. I'm shocked I had working audio at all.

Nothing too out of the ordinary policies wise. We do run a security stack -- including ThreatLocker, which did the Kaby-R i7 in my work laptop no favors speed-wise, but doesn't seem to do badly on for RAM, hovering around 50 megs -- and for some workstations a BCDR agent pulling backups, but...

Yeah, they've dropped the "new" branding from their beta baby and rebranded plain Outlook as "(classic)". I have quite a few users who are concerned about it disappearing entirely. I have a couple folks who like it, but most have no end of issues with it. Moreso than old Outlook, which they're...

Even after all that tomfoolery I still never got sound out of my headset jack and discord won't pick up my built-in mic. Thankfully generic USB-C dongles work and bluetooth works fine -- which is weird, usually bluetooth is the bit that likes to not work right for me under Linux.

If your trial service and permanent service are on the same carrier they should transition that for you. If they're not the permanent service ought to be able to port your temporary number.
